The Louisville Cardinals had a banner year to start the Jeff Brohm Era. Brohm, a former Cardinals quarterback, finally took the helm of his alma mater and posted a 10-4 record and top-20 ranking in his inaugural season.
Brohm arrived back home at UofL after a six year run at Purdue where the Boilermakers won the Big Ten West in his final season at the helm. Brohm’s record at Purdue was 36-34 (26-25 in the conference).
Prior to Purdue, Brohm was the head coach at Western Kentucky where the Hilltoppers were 30-10 under his tutelage including three straight bowl appearances.
